[G] [Bm] [C] [Em]
[G] [Bm] [C] [Em]
[G] Of peacock people [Bm] at the plumes in a [C] pile, they look good [E] to [Em] fall
[G] In the gulf waters warm [Bm] like a bathtub, [C] full of lavender and [D] epsom salt
[G] See a bleach blonde boy [Bm] put his lawnmower [C] down, help his girl get her [Em] sunscreen on
[G] I thought about [Bm] you in your little [C] house, think you're lonely but I [D] could be [C] wrong
I [D] wanna be your bootlegger, [C] wanna mix you up with [D] something [C] strange
Braid your [D] hair like a sister, [C] name you like a [D] hurricane
[G] Right [D] there that's the postman [C] sleeping in the [Em] sand
[G] He's got a letter [D] to deliver, [C] but I can't say [D] it in matter
[G] Right there [D] that's the postman asleep [C] in the [Em] sand
[G] He's gotta get well [D] cards to deliver, [C] he's gonna do it by [Am]
hand
He's [C] gonna do it [G] by hand
[D]
[G] [E] [G]
[C] [Em] [G] Now they drive their [Bm] cars up and down the [C] beach, it's ridiculous and [Em] everybody knows
[G] Hear the Mustangs [Bm] rev at the four-way stop, [C] you get ghosted when the [D] light says go
[G] But in a town like [Bm] this, in the checkered flag [C] dawn, it's so empty it could [Em] be somebody's dream
[G] So maybe it's [Bm] you in your four-post [C] bed, sound asleep but still [D] grinding your [C] teeth
And I [D] wanna be your happiness, [C] I wanna be your [D] common sense pain
[C] Wrap your [D] head in a picket fence, [C] rebuild after the [D] hurricane
[G] Right there [D] that's the postman [C] sleeping in the [Em] sand
[G] He's got my letters [D] to deliver, [C] but I'm [D] still not mad, oh
[G] Right there [D] that's the postman asleep [C] in the [Em] sand
He's [G] gotta get well cards [D] to deliver, [Am] he's gonna do it by hand
He's [C] gonna do it, [G] he's gonna [D] do it, [Bm] he's gonna do it, [C] he's gonna do it, [Am] he's gonna do it, he's gonna do it [G] by hand
[D] [Em]
[Gm] [D] [C] [D]
Oh, [G] right there [D] that's the postman sleeping [C] in the [Em] sand
[G] He's got a letter [D] to deliver, [C] but I can't [D] stay mad, oh
[G] Right [D] there that's the postman [C] asleep in [Em] the sand
[G] He's got a head stack [D] now to deliver, [C] he wants to do it by [Am]
hand
[C] He's gonna do it, he's [D] gonna do it, he's [Bm] gonna do it, he's [C] gonna do it, he's [Am] gonna do it, he's gonna do it, he's gonna do it by [G] hand
